The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Chu Yunxi ordered the purple-robed guards who followed to move the body to the courtyard. She closed the man's eyes and said softly, "Don't worry, I will find the murderer and help you get revenge."

Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei carefully checked the house and found that just like in Father and Aunt Weng's house, all the food and silver were gone, but other things were still there.

Over the course of one night, Chu Yunxi and the others searched every home in Jumu Village. A total of seventy-eight people died, including forty-three elderly people, twenty-five children, and ten younger people, seven women and three men.

Including Old He and the child, the eighty people in Jumu Village were almost wiped out.

Everyone's home was empty of food and silver, and the other party obviously came for these two things.

It was dawn, and Chu Yunxi's eyes were full of bloodshot. Xiao Mubei put a cloak on her distressedly and said, "The officials from Qingluo Town should arrive at noon. You are tired all night, go and rest for a while."

Chu Yunxi was indeed very tired, but she was not sleepy at all. So many people died at once, some with their throats slit, some with their heads stabbed. Their deaths were extremely tragic. Whenever she closed her eyes, all she could see in her mind were those people lying in a pool of blood.

So she shook her head and said, "I'm not sleepy. I want to go see Master. He's been so worried these past two days. I'm afraid he has health problems. I'll go check his pulse."

Xiao Mubei then took her to Mr. He's house again. Mr. He had already woken up and was looking after the child. Chu Yunxi walked to his side and he raised his head.

"Yunxi, this child is Erniu, the most mischievous child in the village. He always takes those kids to climb trees to rob bird nests and go to the river to catch fish. His mother is often mad at him and chases him around the village to beat him. Who would have thought that he would be the only child alive in Jumu Village today."

He Lao's voice was a little choked up again. Chu Yunxi held He Lao's shoulders and said, "Master, after I find out the murderer and bring those people to justice, I will take you and Erniu back to the capital, send him to school, train him, and let him have a promising future and become the pride of Jumu Village, okay?"

He Lao nodded heavily, "Yunxi, you must catch the murderer and avenge the people of Jumu Village!"

Chu Yunxi nodded heavily.

After seeing Mr. He, Chu Yunxi felt a little better, so she went to the carriage to take a nap. After tossing and turning for a long time, she finally fell asleep.

Xiao Mubei asked everyone to be quiet and not disturb Chu Yunxi's rest. He went to the village entrance alone to see if the government officials from Heimu and Qingluo Town had come.

Looking into the distance, all you can see are tall trees with green leaves. I don’t know what the trees in Jumu Village are planting, but the large patches of leaves are very spectacular. However, at this season, almost all the leaves in the capital have fallen, but the south is still full of green.

It was already past noon, but there was still no news from Hei Mu. Xiao Mubei began to feel uneasy, as if something was wrong. After thinking about it, he called over a purple-clothed guard and told her to transfer a group of troops currently stationed at the dock.

The army from Southern Xinjiang sent 10,000 people for Xiao Mubei to deploy this time. Five hundred people were sent to escort the ice coffin yesterday, and another 9,500 people stayed at the dock waiting for Xiao Mubei's arrangements. Originally, Xiao Mubei thought that the army would not be needed, and planned to order the army to withdraw to the barracks after leaving Jumu Village. Unexpectedly, he would be useful again at this time.

The general who led the troops this time was named Wu Xu. He used to be the deputy general of the Langya Army. He had a good relationship with Xiao Mubei and was an upright person. After Chu Xiuyao died in the battle, the surviving Langya Army was unjustly imprisoned. It was not until Chu Yunxi rehabilitated the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery in the capital and also rehabilitated the Langya Army that they were released, promoted to a higher rank, and reincorporated into the army.

It was at this time that Wu Xu was promoted to general and commanded the Dasui army stationed in southern Xinjiang. This time when Xiao Mubei went to southern Xinjiang, he did not need any warrant at all. Just based on his status, Wu Xu would obey his orders.

By night, Hei Mu still hadn't returned, but Wu Xu arrived first with a thousand soldiers. Xiao Mubei knew that something must have happened to Hei Mu. As soon as Wu Xu arrived, he ordered Wu Xu to protect the entire Jumu Village first. He took Zi Han, ten purple guards and a hundred skilled soldiers and rushed to Qingluo Town overnight.

Chu Yunxi asked to go with him, and Xiao Mubei said, "We don't know what the situation will be like this time, it will definitely be dangerous, it's safer for you to stay in Jumu Village, I'll go rescue Hei Mu, and then we'll discuss the next step."

Chu Yunxi refused, "Heimu is also my companion. If he gets into trouble, it is my duty to save him. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never hold you back. I may even be able to help."

Xiao Mubei looked at the determined Chu Yunxi and knew that she always kept her word. If he forced her to stay, she would definitely be frightened. He had mobilized so many people, so it should be more than enough to protect her.

So Xiao Mubei nodded and said, "Okay, then you come with me. If anything happens, we will share the responsibility."

Chu Yunxi nodded heavily. Seeing that it was getting dark, everyone decided not to waste any more time. Chu Yunxi also stopped riding in the carriage. Everyone set off on horseback to save time.

We drove at full speed all the way and when we arrived at Qingluo Town, it was already past midnight. The entire Qingluo Town was quiet and everyone was asleep.

Everyone was dressed in night clothes and covered their faces with black scarves. They abandoned their horses outside the town and used their light skills to fly up from the side of the city wall.

The Purple Guards were all highly skilled in martial arts, and after they climbed up the city wall, they lowered ropes and welcomed the soldiers up. The guards on the city wall were all asleep, leaning all over the place. They were unaware that more than a hundred people had entered the city. Xiao Mubei made a secret note in his mind that the defense of Qingluo Town was so poor, and if it really encountered an enemy attack, it would be vulnerable.

After entering the city, a soldier who had been to Qingluo Town before showed the way and took everyone straight to the county government office. The county government office was also quiet and the gatekeeper was fast asleep.

Xiao Mubei ordered the soldiers to stay outside the county government office temporarily. He took Chu Yunxi and the purple-clothed guards to fly into the county government office to find the location of the prison. Hei Mu came to report a case, but his whereabouts were unknown. With his skills, it was unlikely that he would get into trouble outside. The most likely possibility was that he was unexpectedly detained by the county magistrate of Qingluo Town. If this was the case, the most likely place for Hei Mu now was the county government prison.

Soon, everyone found the location of the prison. To deal with a few sleeping jailers, the purple-robed guards easily pressed their sleeping points, making them fall into a deep sleep. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi began to check the cells one by one, looking for Heimu.
